The Way of the Cross 
Thirteenth Station
JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS
V: We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R: Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Consider that Our Lord having expired, two of His disciples, Joseph and Nicodemus, took Him down from the cross and placed Him in the arms of His afflicted Mother, who received Him with unutterable tenderness and pressed Him to her bosom.
O Mother of Sorrow, for the love of this Son, accept me for thy servant, and pray to Him for me. And Thou, my Redeemer, since Thou hast died for me, permit me to love Thee; for I wish but Thee, my Jesus, and I repent of ever having offended Thee. Never permit me to offend Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always, and then do with me what Thou wilt.
Pray the Our Father, a Hail Mary, and the Glory be.
Let me mingle tears with thee,
Mourning Him Who mourned for me,
All the days that I may live.
